How long for a Corbin?

If I ordered it tomorrow, how long do you think it'd take me to get it? They carry stock or are seats made to order only?

Including the weekend, it took 7 days total to get to my house. They told me that it would be complete one week from the day I ordered, and then they would ship which was on a Friday. The following Tuesday, they called me and said that it just shipped. I got it two days later. They underpromised and overdelivered. Gotta love it...................

I've known several people that have waited many weeks, even a few months for Corbin seats in the past. And their customer service used to SUCK really hard too. Maybe they've gotten better in the last couple of years on both fronts?

Square - What was their service like when you talked with them? Was the experience good? Did they give you an ETA?

Just curious to see if they've turned themselves around. They've always had quality products, now if they get the rest of their business figured out...

Yeah, the guy I talked to seemed nice. He told me I should have the seat in about 7 days and that it would be shipping from Cali. If they can deliver on that, I'll be happy.

That would be great if they can keep up with production/shipping times like that. Sounds like they may have a handle on things now, but maybe they are just focusing on the "new" bike on the street so they can get the word out.

Keep us posted.

Took about a week for my seat to show up, and to me it was worth the wait.

I rode 267 miles on it and no hot spots or discomfort. About 80 to 90 miles and I wanted off the stocker, I cpuld run the tank out now with no problem.

Bently that sounds exactly like how I feel right now. On my XX I wanted off after about 80 or so straight miles, then I put the Corbin on and I could run out the tank (200-240 miles) with no issues and hop right back on. I'm hoping the same happens for my ZX. After about 80 or 90 miles, the very slight edges of the seat hurt the insides of my thighs and my butt hurts. I'm hoping the Corbin lets me drop 200 miles with no problems. I have a trip to Ohio coming up next weekend and if it gets here in time I'll get a chance to test that out.
